Have you ever wondered what Michael Jackson would look like without the plastic surgery?
The Daily Mail of London posted this pic on their Web site.
What do you think?
News New AC/DC
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 4:09 PM
A new AC/DC song, "Rock 'n' Roll Train," has been posted on the band's official Web site. The song will appear on the band's next album, Black Ice, due out on Oct. 20.
So, how is it? Well...it sounds like AC/DC. A big rock riff with the high-pitched vocals of Brian Johnson over it all leading to a big hook.
Fans should be happy...it sounds like everything else they've done.
QC After Dark Slammin' Jam
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 3:06 PM
It can be assumed that an event coordinated by “Don’t Hate Productions” is a don’t hate, congregate kind of occasion. As in a non-alcoholic, diverse type of event for which everyone is culturally coexisting and chillin'. Said occasion was Battle Slam Jam at Grayson State Park last Saturday.
The event merged two entirely different cultures by combining two athletic arts – skateboarding and break dancing.

QC After Dark There's no place like Nikko...
Posted By Brittney Cason on Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 11:23 AM
In a land far, far away… down Tryon there is a little sushi spot called Wang King.
They have half price sushi night, every night. I asked them what was in their Mango Chicken and the waitress just shrugged her shoulders like she had no idea what chicken even was. “We do white meat for you,” she responded. Yikes.
So I clicked my heals together and chanted: “There’s no place like Nikko, there’s no place like Nikko.”
Cause there’s really not… in Charlotte at least. And despite the fact that the see-and-be-seen swank restaurants with equally beautiful people and plate presentation are a lot like pretty girls: a dime a dozen – even in Charlotte.
But Nikkos stands out. It has character… literally.

David Lindley The guitar legend's curriculum vitae would take up the entire music section, but a cross-section should give you an idea: Ry Cooder, Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Henry Kaiser, Rod Stewart, Dolly Parton and on and on and on. His own band, El Rayo-X, made some noise in the '80s, but his ability to fuse styles together on virtually any instrument with strings is distinctly Lindey-esque, and what's made him such a hot commodity. Dude can bring it. The early show at Evening Muse. (John Schacht)
Caleb Caudle and the Bayonets Tapping into classic country and roots music, Winston-Salem's Caudle writes songs tempered with Southern warmth and plenty rocking energy. There's natural soul in his writing, nothing seems to be forced. It's that combo of roots pop that makes Caudle a worthy addition to North Carolina singer/songwriters. With Luego and Dylan Gilbert. Snug Harbor (Samir Shukla)
Agent Orange Singer/guitarist Mike Palm is the only remaining original member of this Southern Cali punk band, but the old bloke can still pound the geetar and get a pit going. The band's been pounding eardrums, off and on, since the late '70s. Their recorded output has been sporadic over the years, but they've managed a collection of fast and loud records with a sprinkling of melodic new wave tunes tucked under their belt. Check the way cool version of the Get Smart theme for their surf influences. Tax Slave and 2013 Wolves are also on the bill. Milestone (Shukla)
